Jedi Knight Aesaedii "Saedii" Synn is a prisoner. Captured by Darth Vader and the Empire, she's given a choice: serve as an Inquisitor or Omega will suffer the consequences. Any misstep, any failure and Omega's death will be on her head. But serving as an Inquisitor is nearly as dangerous as being hunted by them. Internal rivalries make every brother and sister an enemy. Pong Krell will go to any length to see her fail. And Kalth -- once her friend, now her captor -- seems to have an agenda of his own. Without the Bad Batch and the Clones, survival boils down to a choice: darkness or light. And in order to save her friend, Saedii may have to become what she hates the most. ~~~~~~~~~~ or: the ending of tbb season 2 wasn't sad enough, so i made it much worse first five chapters posted on August 1, 2025. cross-posted on ao3. completed April 3, 2026

Adelaide Asher was not only the daughter of the President of the United States but also a woman forged by discipline, loyalty, and sacrifice. Once a Special Agent for the FBI, she had built a career defined by sharp instincts and unshakable courage. But when her mother-the First Lady-passed away, her father asked her to step into a role she had never dreamed of: to carry the mantle of First Lady herself. Reluctantly, Adelaide accepted, because she could not deny her father's plea or abandon her duty to family and country. To the world she was a symbol of resilience and grace, but to those in the shadows, in whispered radios and encrypted files, she was known by a different name-her code name: STARLIGHT. Mike Banning had seen everything the battlefield of life could throw at him-war, betrayal, bloodshed-but nothing had disarmed him like Adelaide Asher. As the president's most trusted Secret Service agent, he had spent countless hours protecting her father, the Commander-in-Chief, and, by extension, Adelaide herself. What began as duty became something deeper-an unspoken devotion, born from long nights of danger and fleeting moments of vulnerability. Somewhere between gunfire and fleeting silences, Mike had fallen in love with her. And against all odds, Adelaide had let him into her heart, the agent who stood between her family and the world's darkness. Their bond, forged in fire, would be tested again and again, for their lives seemed forever caught in the storm. No peace lasted long. No safety endured. For every moment of stillness came another attack, another enemy, another trial to survive. And through it all, Mike and Adelaide fought not just for survival, but for each other. - Olympus Has Fallen - London Has Fallen - Angel Has Fallen Disclaimer: All original rights and credits of these three amazing movies go to its creators. The only new/added character is Starlight, Adelaide and its ideas belong to me.
